Being necessary to finish the mission doesnt invalidate them as non-canon items. Some of the hearts were the exact same as Dante's, found in the exact same places, some of them show up in a different mission if missed in the first avaliable mission and most are completely missable.

If we say that necessary Hearts count as her canon arsenal and that she has kept all of them, that means she has Electro, Frost, and Aerial hearts.

Trish has lightning powers, DT with certain DAs provides similar amps with a more varied moveset, something Lucia generally hasnt shown.

Now lets say Lucia gets and keeps all of the items that are possible to collect, then Trish would get access to most of Dante's previously used weapons/items because she knows Enzo and BtN confirms that she can get the DAs he holds on to.

Which again, provide various amps amd elemental power ups. They also allow her to use different fighting styles/techniques, while Lucia hasnt shown any proficiency in a style other than her own.

The elemntal power ups from the Hearts are mostly for DT, so a majority of the time Lucia wont have elemental buffs to her attacks, while DA's give Trish elemental abilities regardless.
